The Stout-Manners Burying Ground at Wertsville has several old tombstones
that are little more than rocks with initials and names carved on them.

The one for David Stout (d. 1732) merely has "D. S."

Here's a link with a photo:

Other Stout burials include that of David's wife Rebecca (d. 1725);
Catherine Simpson Stout (d. 1749); and James Stout (d. 1727), however, I do
not know if stones still exist for these individuals.

Some photos of the Manners stones are at this link:

There is a close up of the stone of John Manners, d. 1770.
